- Did it hurt baby - when you fell from heaven?
This will either make them giggle and provide a foundation for conversation - or it will get you a slap in the face and a great view of their bum as they leave. - Have you got a number or do you want mine?
Cheesier than a Quattro Formaggio Pizza but it works on occasion. A great, repulsing come back is: “I’m not listed and I’m hoping you’re not either.” - Of all the hostels in all the world, you had to walk into mine?
This one gets points for taking a line out of Casablanca - one of the most romantic films of all time. Unfortunately it’s also been used more times than a second hand mattress and there ain’t much spring left in it. - Is that ladder in your tights a stairway to heaven?
This is a classic line from the boys to the girls - with a three beer minimum. There are two responses to this. Endearing laughter at this completely clueless approach or a truly deserving and crushing response, such as: “Bad boys don’t get to go to heaven.” - With this credit crunch we really should consolidate our assets - why don’t you buy me a drink?
It’s contemporary, it’s quirky and in today’s level playing field of dating, it might just work. At the very least you can make up for being a little too forward by offering to buy the object of your affection a drink - after you’ve been shot down. - How do you keep in such great shape on the road? You must be really fit.
One veiled compliment and one not so subtle point of praise. It’s neutral territory nonetheless and completely inoffensive - unless of course it’s accompanied by a tequila induced slur and stammer. - Is that a mirror in your pants because I can see myself there tonight?
Cheeky but who can resist the urge to overstep the mark with such a cringe inducing remark? If you insist on using this one you might want to accompany it with a wink and a laugh - just to remove some of the seediness. - Get your coat love - you’ve pulled.
Brazen but a corker of a line nonetheless. This one is unisex and like all potential pick up lines - it’s all in the delivery. Throw in a bright eyed glance, follow it up with a bashful glance away towards the floor, dip your head to the left then return to eye contact with a cheeky smile, slowly spreading from the corner of your mouth. Flawless. - When they made the alphabet they should have put U and I together.
This one involves more than two brain cells - so it’s almost clever. Try it with a false Russian accent and see what kind of response you get. - If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me?
This is up there with the likes of: “Was it love at first sight or should I walk past you again?” and: “There’s a gap in your life - mind if I fill it?” This approach however, like most hostel romances, shouldn’t be taken too seriously.
